The Danné Concept
The Danné Concept
Before a professional practitioner can assess whether or not a skin treatment product or range is workable and will achieve the results needed for the client, he or she must consider the following rule of thumb or 'Concept'.
DMK research over the years has shown that if any products or treatment range do not fit the following four categories in tandem, or in the order presented, there is little chance of success in alleviating the patient’s skin disorders or revising their appearance from an aged look to a youthful look. The DMK Method, employed in all of its international clinics from St. Petersburg, Russia, to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is based on the following concept and is consistent and ethnically correct from country to country. Invigor8 Anti-Ageing Clinic observe all of the biological differences from race to race and the specific ecological and climate aspects of Perth, Western Australia.

The DANNÉ Concept Of Skin Revision
REMOVE
DMK products in the hands of Invigor8 Paramedical Skin Practitioners remove the excessive cuticle build-up known as dry or wrinkled skin. We must also remove gases, impuritiesand other effluvia from the newer cells in the epidermis that would shorten their life span. In addition, this type of removal helps to regulate the secretive glands, the immune system of the skin (Langerhans cells) and melanogenesis (color and tone of skin).
We accomplish this through a process we call hydrolyzation – or turning dead keratin or dead protein into a weak acid and flushing it out of the tissues.
This removal system, using a sophisticated and exclusive group of enzymes and co-enzymes is the first step to any full skin revision results. It is nearly infallible with results observed from the very first treatment – yet there are no known contraindications and no age limits as to clients who are candidates.
The DMK enzyme removal system also progressively tightens loose skin, helps build sagging muscle on the face and body and opens the door to further collagen enhancing treatments in the 'Rebuild' category of the concept.
Other removal systems in the concept may include, ‘playing the piano on the pH scale.’ In other words, we have formulas that can dramatically lower the pH of the skin so cell material is removed either hygroscopically with our unique approach to alpha hydroxy acids, or through hardening of the superficial corneum at such a rate it becomes brittle and detaches from the underlying newer cells of the skin.
Or we can jump to the other end of the pH scale – the alkaline side with a compound that desquamates or softens all hair on the skin, pustules, folliculitis, congested follicle and hyper pigmentation – all in four minutes flat.

REBUILD
If removal is like ‘cleaning the house,’ then rebuilding is like ‘repairing the house.’ Most signs of aging or disorders start in the underlying tissues – however the surface dead cell structure may appear to be aged, lightly wrinkled, dry skin. This dead excess corneum is actually not dry skin at all. In fact dry skin is a misnomer, it is actually just dead skin and once hydrolyzed away, the newer, still alive cells can then be kept alive a bit longer – this would be referred to as 'anti-aging'.
In order to keep these cells alive, we must provide them with the chemistry they recognise and need as food, i.e.; products containing amino acids, other proteins as building blocks and certain vitamins. In order to maintain moisture balance, secretions from the sebaceous glands and the suderiferous glands (oil and water) need to be imitated. This would take two products – a highly fractionated, antioxidant oil and a polarised water containing herbs and minerals that mock the suderiferous secretion. This is the only way to truly moisturise the skin.
Then a transdermal crème must be applied over this moist, acid mantle created by the two above-mentioned products. The crème would be a protein, amino acid and vitamin crème, which would deliver the nutrients to the skin systematically all day long.
This in turn would feed other cell structures that are important to the re-building process. Namely, the collagen fibers. Collagen fibers look a bit like little wires or cables that branch freely throughout the connective tissues, keeping the skin firm and tight. When these fibers break and fray, they sag and the skin also sags. Injured areas may heal very slowly due to this depletion of collagen.
However, there are hardworking amino acids that actually make baby collagen (called tropocollagen) inside the fibroblast cells – rather like workers at a factory. The boss of this factory and of the amino acid workers is vitamin C. It is clear that the role of vitamin C is two-fold; as both a free radical scavenger and as a precursor to new collagen production in aging skin. There are many controversies about vitamin C and which is the best and which is the most powerful – or stabilised.
The word stabilised is often used wrong in advertising. Stabilised ingredients do not necessarily always mean the ingredient is better than an unstable ingredient. It means that it will not de-nature as quickly as a product as an unstable ingredient, which can be far more powerful and effective. Thirty years ago, when Danne first started to work with vitamin C after observing its important role in the body, Danne has included vitamin C therapy in all phases of its treatments since 1969.
DMK use other vitamins as well, each coordinated to its specific role in the skin – such as vitamin E as the first line of free radical defense, vitamin A as a lock and key cell growth enhancer, etc.
PROTECT
Once the skin is rebuilt back to its normal status quo, it is vital to protect the result indefinitely. Protection from the sun is vital. Solar radiation is responsible for 90 percent of all aging and is also a free radical. There is no compromise. Newly revised skin will quickly revert back to aging or troubled skin if exposed to the sun excessively (beyond 10 a.m. and before 4 p.m. in most countries).
The DMK Sun Block is unique in the fact that it is transdermal and has no greasy feel or smell of coconut oil. For women it can be worn over all of their other DMK products and makeup without feeling heavy.
For men, the DMK transdermal sunblock disappears into the skin without any trace at all and does not run into the eyes and sting during sports activities.
It was the preferred sun block for skiers during the winter Olympics in Lillihammer, Norway in 1994 and is one of the top sellers in Australia, Singapore and South Africa due to its anti-hyperpigmentation power. Of all Danne formulas, including his first formula, Seba-E (Sebum in a bottle), Danne was proudest of the transdermal sunblock.
